A few people have asked how you can tell the difference between a dunnock and a female sparrow, so I've taken a couple of close-ups of a female sparrow so you can compare the two side-by-side (the last one is a dunnock).

See how the female sparrow is much stockier in the body, the beak is triangular and pale, and the plumage is more patterned including a white bar of the underside of the wings. The dunnock is much finer featured, slim, steel grey front with brown back, brick red/brownish eyes with slim dark beak.
Some very kind person found my sons phone on Emmerson St Petone and kindly handed it in to the Police station, Thank you again.I'd like to buy you a pint for your trouble.

The rugby gods weren’t ready for Colin Mataira.
Three times he turned up at their gates on the afternoon of July 11, and three times they sent him back. The 45-year-old father of five, and grandfather of three, to all intents and purposes died three times when his heart stopped on the 10-metre line of a Napier rugby field that day.
Did you know? The letter 'A' doesn't appear in any spelled-out numbers all the way through to 'one thousand'!

The Greens’ transport policy backs the introduction of light rail between Wellington City, and the eastern and southern suburbs which they say would reduce congestion and emissions. It also includes extending it to Lower Hutt, making it possible to catch a light rail all the way from central Hutt to the airport.
